As a way to help British Columbians determine whether they may need further assessment for testing for the COVID-19 virus, the BC Ministry of Health has introduced an online Self Assessment Tool which offers a bit of guidance as to who should be tested and who does not need to be hospitalized.


In their information release that introduces the self assessment tool, the BC Health Ministry notes that anyone who has symptoms - including a fever, cough, sneezing, sore throat or difficulty breathing to self isolate for fourteen days.

As well as to recount the many other health protection measures previously announced.
